I thought this way in the beginning, but the way gog never even built a Linux client while valve literally made Linux a viable gaming platform from proton to steam deck, I buy all my games from steam now.
@nieceandtows Yeah, I love GOG’s DRM-free ethos and I’d love to support them, but they sure don’t seem interested in supporting me.
I’d like for Steam to have good competition because monoculture is bad and competition is good for everybody. But if you’re a Linux gamer, nobody else compares to Valve.
Itch.io is really the only other game store that shows anything like Valve’s level of support for Linux, and it’s great but it’s not a Steam competitor.
True. Linux client is a must for me. Their Windows launcher is kinda crap too. It has so much focus on trying to get all your games in one launcher but it’s not great as a launcher for any platform…

So, do you use Lutris instead?
I use Windows on Desktop and I use Steam Deck OS on my Steam Deck. On my Deck I usually just don’t play GOG games lol
